staff so that nobody feels neglected. Motivation can
be given in the simplest forms, such as an email of
appreciation from the boss to the staff or wishes to a
subordinate on his birthday.

staff needs constant direction and redirection for
countering he competitors. HRIS helps the managers and
staff require quick information for directing their
energies towards the overall goals and objectives of the
